Effects can specify their minimum requirements in their
desktop file:
* OpenGL
* OpenGL 2 (GLSL required)
* Shaders (either ARB or OpenGL 2)
The configuration module uses this information in combination
with which backend KWin is currently using. So if e.g. OpenGL
is used and an effect requires OpenGL 2 a detailed error
message can be showed that OpenGL 2 is required.

Instead of getting the information from CompositingPrefs
the running KWin instance is queried through D-Bus.
In general the running KWin should have more information
about whether Compositing will work or not.
This means the kcm no longer has to link OpenGL.
REVIEW: 104753
Detecting CompositingPrefs invokes an external program. Waiting
for this can be moved in a second thread.
Due to the introduction of the thread the initialization order
of KWin is changed: the WindowManager is initialized before the
Compositor. Interestingly this makes KWin felt more responsive
as the screen is not frozen for several seconds.
REVIEW: 104579
Workspace emits a signal when the initialization finished and
interested parties can connect to this signal to perform post
init actions. That is everything that does not have to be
performed to have a completely working Window Manager.
As an example loading the scripts is moved into this post init
phase.

Workspace::addDeleted swaps the Client with the Deleted in the
stacking order. For Unmanaged windows the Deleted is appended
to the stacking order which is the same layer.
When the deleted is closed the window is removed from the stacking
order.
The result is that a deleted window is no longer raised above all
other clients.
REVIEW: 104519
BUG: 158262
FIXED-IN: 4.9.0
The common usage of stacking order is to loop through
the list and find a specific Client. All these usages
still need to find a Client. For that the loops are
adjusted to first cast the Toplevel into a Client and
continue if the current item is no Client.
At the moment all entries in the stacking order should
still be Clients as the Deleted are not yet added.
The method is nowhere inside KWin called, nor used as a slot.
It's also not used from any of the KCMs and the method does not
do what the name says. It just shows and hides a window as big
as the screen geometry.
REVIEW: 104418
Client has a property for demands attention and Workspace
is emitting a signal whenever the demands attention state
of any Client changes.

This adds extensive support information about the running instance
by printing out all used options, the compositing information
including GL platform, loaded effects and active effects.
The debug output can be retrieved through D-Bus:
qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformation
or through a KWin Script (use desktop console):
print(workspace.supportInformation())

A build option is introduced to file CMakeLists.txt. Classes Tiling,
Tile and TilingLayouts are only built if the option is set to ON. #ifdef's
are added to the classes where functions of the excluded classes are called.
This initial commit introduces a new class Tiling. It is provided by
the files tiling/tiling.h and tiling/tiling.cpp. It covers all the
Tiling functionality which was provided by Workspace. In this initial
commit, all the functions were just moved and adjusted.
A new member variable m_tiling is introduced to Workspace, which
makes the new class Tiling accessible from Workspace.
The Tiling pointer is created in the constructor and deleted in
the deconstructor. Also a getter method tiling() is provided.
All calls from other classes are updated to use the methods in class
Tiling now.
When a screen is disconnected XRandR emits 3 events instead of just one:
1-Disconnected screen resized
2-Disconnected screen moved
3-Disconnected screen removed
Before this commit we were calling desktopResize on each event which
between other things restart the composite (not necessarily the faster
thing to do...).
So, in order to be able to call desktopResize only once, now we're
handling individually each event, when one of them happens a QTimer is
started/restarted on each event and desktopResized is called owhen
QTimer.timeout
The current interval is 100msec
To get rid of direct method calls and numerous #ifdefs a new signal
configChanged() is introduced to class Workspace. Every module
which is interested in reloading the configuration is needed to connect to
this signal.
Initially this is done for the reconfiguration of DesktopChangeOSD().
All the functionality of Overlay Window is moved to its own class
OverlayWindow. It is created and owned by class Scene, since almost
all function calls are called from this class.

CCMAIL: sebas@kde.org
Move the funtionality of TabBox from class Workspace to class TabBox to make
it possible to deactivate this feature by setting a compile flag.
All methods and variables are now provided by class TabBox and calls from other
classes go directly to TabBox.
The code for configuring the shortcut keys has also been moved to class TabBox
from kwinbindings.cpp.
This commit adds a new member variable m_screenEdge to Workspace. It is
initialized in the constructor and deleted in the deconstructor.
A getter is introduced as well.
This initial commit introduces a two new files screenedge.h and screenedge.cpp which cover a new
class ScreenEdge. The code for screen edge handling was copied from Workspace to this class.
Workspace had to be extended by a getter for movingWindow. CMakeList was updated to build the
new class.
Since the funtionality of TopMenu did no longer work in KDE4 this feature was
removed from Workspace. Every reference to it was removed as well as commentaries
and documentation.

Drawbound was nowadays only used when compositing is disabled.
For the composited case, the drawbound was replaced by the resize
effect and in fact we should always just use the resize effect.
REVIEW: 101411
Mouse Emulation is provided in a better way by KAccess. This provides
a global systemsettings switch to enable mouse emulation instead of
a shortcut and Xkb to enable mouse control with keyboard instead of
sending out fake mouse events.
So no need for duplicated functionality in KWin.

In case we use OpenGL compositing and KWin is started with the raster graphicssystem,
the decoration gets painted with the raster backend.
REVIEW: 101370
With config option "NoPlugin" in group "Style" it is possible to
no request that KWin should be run without a decoration plugin.
This is a change for Plasma Active to properly support no decorations.
As well if a decoration plugin cannot be loaded, KWin will no longer
exit, but continue to run just without a decoration. As a nice
side-effect changes in Oxygen no longer destroy my kwin build ;-)

REVIEW: 100848
This has never been implemented properly. There is only the boolean
indicating that the desktop layout is dynamic but it is nowhere set
or used. So better remove it.
EffectsHandlerImpl just forwards the signals from TabBox. In order
to have a valid pointer to the TabBox, the TabBox is now initialized
before compositing in Workspace.
Client and Unmanaged use a signal to notify that they are about to be closed.
The EffectsHandlerImpl is connected to those signals and emits the appropriate
windowClosed signal to which the effects are connected.
All previously existing windowAdded methods are renamed to slotWindowAdded.
EffectsHandlerImpl is connected to Workspace's clientAdded signal, which is
emitted a little bit earlier than the previous direct method call. This might
change behavior.
Another signal is added to Workspace to signal that an unmanaged is added.
Shortcuts for quick tile to the quarters of the screen
added in 4.6.
Thanks to Arthur Arlt for implementing this feature.

internally, kwin creates "sub-sessions" in kwin and ksmserver to

This commit merges the kwin-tiling branch. Ideally it shouldn't break anything and add a few features ;-)
It was applied as a patch. Do not attempt to merge the branch directly, it has a few issues.
This feature is currently experimental, although it hasn't crashed in quite a long time. It lacks some features and probably leaks some memory. Fixes will be on the way.

There seems to be a race condition as I cannot reproduce at all, David

WARNING: Breaks shadow effect. I don't think it causes anything to crash anymore but it is VERY ugly visually.
Contains:
- New decoration API that allows decorations to change the way shadows look.
- Shadows now wobble.
- API example code in the Oxygen decoration.
- Added buildQuads() effect plugin hook.
- Work on the shadow effect to use the new decoration shadow API as well.
- Added IDs to WindowQuads.
- Added public accessors to texture coords in WindowVertex.
